I have 3 million things to do today.

"So why aren't you doing them?" you ask.

"Because," I say, "my mind is numb."

I have 3 million things to do today. Where do I begin?

"Why don't you begin at the beginning?" you ask.

"Because," I say, "I must finish the end first."

I have 3 million things to do today. When am I going to have time for fun?

"Why don't you make your tasks fun?" you ask.

"Because," I say, "there's no way these jobs can be fun."

I have 3 million things to do today. Who's going to help me?

"Why do you need someone to help you?" you ask.

"Because," I say, "I can't do all this by myself!"

I have 3 million things to do today. What if I can't do them all?

"Why don't you just try?" you ask.

"Because," I say, "I might fail."

I have 3 million things to do today. How much more will I have to do tomorrow?

Well...Tomorrow you will have 6 million things to do, and if you don't get those done. The next day you will have 9 million things to do. You should have done that one thing you started with..:-P ~Posted by Mathax, Oct 20, 2007
